IT Park Global Startup Accelerator 2025 Opens Applications for Startups Worldwide
The IT Park Global Startup Accelerator 2025 has officially opened its doors to innovative startups across the globe, offering one of the most exciting opportunities of the year to grow, network, and gain international exposure. Organized by IT Park Kazan in partnership with the Ministry of Digitalization of Tatarstan, this prestigious program will select 30 startups from around the world to participate in an intensive online accelerator, followed by an exclusive in-person stage at Kazan Digital Week in Russia.
The program’s first phase will take place online from August 20 to September 1, 2025. Over the course of these two weeks, selected participants will join targeted sessions designed to prepare them for international expansion and investor engagement. Core topics include:
- Global Market Entry Strategies: Learn how to adapt your business model, marketing approach, and operational plan for new markets.
- Investment Readiness: Understand what global investors look for, how to structure your funding pitch, and strategies for securing capital.
- Pitching Like a Pro: Develop the skills to deliver a compelling, investor-ready pitch that clearly communicates your startup’s value proposition.
Once the online phase concludes, 15 of the most promising startups will be invited for an all-expenses-paid trip to Kazan, Russia, to participate in the second stage from September 14 to 19, 2025. This in-person component coincides with Kazan Digital Week, a global technology and innovation event that attracts industry leaders, investors, and entrepreneurs from across the world.
At Kazan Digital Week, the selected startups will have the opportunity to:
- Pitch on an International Stage: Present their businesses to global venture capitalists, corporate partners, and technology leaders.
- Exhibit at a Branded Booth: Each team will have a dedicated booth to showcase their products or services to thousands of attendees.
- Network with Key Stakeholders: Build connections with investors, accelerators, and potential clients from multiple countries.
The prize package for the in-person phase is exceptionally generous, covering flights, accommodation, meals, local transportation, visa support, and a branded exhibition booth — ensuring that founders can focus entirely on making the most of this opportunity without worrying about expenses.
This initiative builds on the strong reputation of Kazan as a hub for global innovation and entrepreneurship. Over the years, Kazan Digital Week has become a platform where technology meets opportunity, enabling startups to not only secure funding but also form strategic international partnerships.
The event’s credibility is reinforced by testimonials from past participants and speakers, including those who have attended multiple editions of Kazan’s global forums. Many describe it as a powerful platform that blends cultural exchange, business networking, and entrepreneurial growth in a unique way.
